This study investigated the existence of a direct segment (none U-fibre) of the superior part of the FLS (sFLS), which connects the dorsal premotor cortex (PMd) and DLPFC and analysed its asymmetry and termination point patterns. A dataset of diffusion-weighted images from 48 subjects was used for generalised q-sampling imaging tractography. Additionally, a white-fibre dissection was conducted in two right hemispheres. An analysis of spatial location, termination points, laterality, and correlation with the subjects’ gender or handedness was performed. The sFLS was found to have a deeper longitudinal bundle directly connecting the PMd and DLPFC. The bundle is referred to hereafter as the superior frontal longitudinal tract (SFLT). The SFLT was reconstructed in 100\% of right and 88\% of left hemispheres. It exhibited variable patterns in different subjects in their posterior terminations. In addition, it was found to possess a complicated spatial relationship with the adjacent bundles. The SFLT was revealed successfully in two cadaveric right hemispheres, where the posterior terminations were found to originate in the PMd independent of the superior longitudinal fasciculus.}, language = {en}, number = {1}, urldate = {2022-04-27}, journal = {Scientific Reports}, author = {Bakhit, Mudathir and Fujii, Masazumi and Hiruta, Ryo and Yamada, Masayuki and Iwami, Kenichiro and Sato, Taku and Saito, Kiyoshi}, month = sep, year = {2020}, note = {Number: 1 Publisher: Nature Publishing Group}, keywords = {Anatomy, Brain, Nervous system}, pages = {15855}, }

Lead toxicity in bald eagles is characterized by fibrinoid necrosis of small- to medium-caliber arteries, most commonly affecting the heart, brain, and eyes. Gross and histologic lesions are consistent with ischemia caused by a primary vascular injury. A blood lead concentration of greater than 4 ppm and markedly elevated liver lead concentrations were associated with a greater likelihood of lesions in the heart.

The limbic system and medial prefrontal cortex play important roles in the regulation of ANS activity. However, the integration of brain activity and ANS activity has yet to be investigated in adolescents despite independent evidence of adolescents' heightened neural and physiological sensitivity to emotional stimuli. The present study examined the relations of ANS activity in the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) and sympathetic nervous system (SNS) with brain activity during emotional face processing in adolescents. 135 adolescents (65 female; M = 17.15 yr, SD = 0.42) completed an emotional faces task during an fMRI scan while electrocardiography and skin conductance were recorded simultaneously. Using linear mixed-effect modelling, we tested the effect of change in respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), a measure of PNS activity, and number of skin conductance responses (SCRs), a measure of SNS activity, on neural activity while adolescents viewed emotional faces. Greater RSA withdrawal, indicating decreased PNS activity, was associated with increased activation in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC). More SCRs, indicating greater SNS activity, were associated with decreased activation in several regions including the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex and increased activation in the left hippocampus. Left hippocampus-SCR coupling and vmPFC-RSA coupling predicted baseline SCR and RSA respectively. These findings implicate the hippocampus for potentiating SNS activity, document that regulation of SNS and PNS activity are coordinated with distinct regions of the medial prefrontal cortex, and suggest potential developmental differences in vmPFC regulation of PNS activity between adolescents and adults.}, pages = {818-827}, title = {Adolescents’ brain-autonomic coupling during emotion processing}, volume = {183}, year = {2018}, keywords = {cortex,adolescents,activity,activation,hippocampus,coupling,brain,regulation,pns,conductance}, }

Most of them are sporadic but certain tauopathies rely on tau gene (MAPT) mutations. They particularly differ from one to another by their different neuropathological signatures e.g. lesion shapes, regions affected and molecular composition of aggregates. Six isoforms of tau exist, but they do not all co-aggregate in each tauopathy but rather have a unique signature for each one. In some tauopathies such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), tau protein aggregation follows stereotypical anatomical stages. Recent data suggest that this progression is due to an active process of tau protein propagation from neuron-to-neuron. We wondered how tau isoforms or mutations could influence the process of tau aggregation and tau propagation. In human neuropathological material, we found that MAPT mutations induce a faster misfolding compared to tau found in sporadic AD patients. In the rat brain, we observed cell-to-cell transfer of non-pathological tau species irrespective of the tested isoform or presence of a mutation. By contrast, we found that the species of tau impact the propagation of tau pathology markers such as hyperphosphorylation and misfolding. Indeed, misfolding and hyperphosphorylated tau proteins do not spread at the same rate when tau is mutated, or the isoform composition is modified. These results clearly argue for the existence of specific folding properties of tau depending on isoforms or mutations impacting the behavior of pathological tau species.}, language = {eng}, number = {1}, journal = {Acta Neuropathologica Communications}, author = {Dujardin, Simon and Bégard, Séverine and Caillierez, Raphaëlle and Lachaud, Cédrick and Carrier, Sébastien and Lieger, Sarah and Gonzalez, Jose A. and Deramecourt, Vincent and Déglon, Nicole and Maurage, Claude-Alain and Frosch, Matthew P. and Hyman, Bradley T. and Colin, Morvane and Buée, Luc}, month = nov, year = {2018}, pmid = {30497516}, pmcid = {PMC6263555}, keywords = {Aged, Humans, Female, Male, Middle Aged, Brain, Alzheimer’s disease, Adult, Disease Progression, tau Proteins, Aged, 80 and over, Animals, Protein Isoforms, Rats, Severity of Illness Index, Mutation, Tauopathies, Disease Models, Animal, Phosphorylation, Rats, Wistar, Propagation, Tau, Heterogeneity, Injections, Intraventricular, Isoforms, Misfolding, Proteostasis Deficiencies}, pages = {132} }

The existence of a "pure" type of vascular dementia (VaD) is controversial. There is a need to find magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics allowing the distinction between VaD and MixD. The present post-mortem 7.0-tesla MRI compares the frequency or severity and the topography of the small cerebrovascular lesions in brains of patients with VaD and with MixD. \textbf{Material and methods}: Based on neuropathological criteria, 14 brains were classified as VaD, 24 as MixD and 11 as controls. Three coronal sections of a cerebral hemisphere and a horizontal section of a cerebellar hemisphere underwent T2 and T2* 7.0-tesla MRI examination. The mean values and topographic distribution of white matter changes (WMCs), lacunar infarcts (LIs), cortical microbleeds (CoMBs) and cortical microinfarcts (CoMIs) were determined and compared between the different groups. \textbf{Results}: Compared to the controls, both VaD and MixD brains had significantly more severe WMCs and increased numbers of CoMBs and CoMIs. Lacunar infarcts predominated only in the VaD cases. On mutual comparison of VaD and MixD brains, CoMBs and CoMIs predominated in the frontal lobe and the cerebellum of VaD, while were mainly present in the occipital lobe of MixD. White matter changes predominated in the temporal lobe of MixD cases. Lacunar infarcts were significantly increased in the corona radiata and putamen of VaD patients. \textbf{Conclusions}: The present post-mortem MRI study shows clear differences in the distribution and the types of cerebrovascular lesions on high-field MRI, confirming that VaD and MixD are different diseases. }.}, language = {eng}, number = {1}, journal = {Folia Neuropathologica}, author = {De Reuck, Jacques and Auger, Florent and Durieux, Nicolas and Deramecourt, Vincent and Maurage, Claude-Alain and Cordonnier, Charlotte and Pasquier, Florence and Leys, Didier and Bordet, Regis}, year = {2017}, pmid = {28430290}, keywords = {Aged, Humans, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Dementia, Female, Male, Brain, Autopsy, vascular dementia, cortical microbleeds, cortical microinfarcts, lacunar infarcts, mixed dementia, post-mortem 7.0-tesla MRI, topographic distribution of small cerebrovascular lesions, white matter changes}, pages = {31--37} }

First, recent animal and cell model studies find abnormally-modified tau alone may be transmitted between adjacent neurons and spread to anatomically connected brain regions to recapitulate human disease. Further, staging efforts in human autopsy cases suggest a sequential distribution of tau aggregation in the central nervous system that could reflect this observed cell-to-cell transmission of pathogenic tau species in animal models. Finally, pathogenic mutations in the MAPT gene encoding tau protein cause hereditary forms of tauopathy. Clinically, tauopathies can present with a range of phenotypes that include both movement- and cognitive/behavioral-disorders (i.e. frontotemporal dementia spectrum disorders) or non-specific amnestic symptoms in advanced age.

@article{5934876, abstract = {{The state regulation deficit model posits that individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have difficulty applying mental effort effectively under suboptimal conditions such as very fast and very slow event rates (ERs). ADHD is also associated with diminished suppression of default mode network (DMN) activity and related performance deficits on tasks requiring effortful engagement. The current study builds on these 2 literatures to test the hypothesis that failure to modulate DMN activity in ADHD might be especially pronounced at ER extremes. Nineteen adults with ADHD and 20 individuals without any neuropsychiatric condition successfully completed a simple target detection task under 3 ER conditions (2-, 4-, and 8-s interstimulus intervals) inside the scanner. Task-related DMN deactivations were compared between 2 groups. There was a differential effect of ER on DMN activity for individuals with ADHD compared to controls.

The results indicate that DMN attenuation in ADHD is disrupted in suboptimal energetic states where additional effort is required to optimize task engagement.

Such a noninvasive and localized neurostimulation is expected to have a major impact in neuroscience in the coming years. This emerging field will require many animal experiments to fully understand the link between ultrasound and stimulation. The primary goal of this paper is to investigate transcranial ultrasonic neurostimulation at low frequency (320 kHz) on anesthetized rats for different acoustic pressures and estimate thein situ pressure field distribution and the corresponding motor threshold, if any. The corresponding acoustic pressure distribution inside the brain, which cannot be measured in vivo, is investigated based on numerical simulations of the ultrasound propagation inside the head cavity, reproducing at best the experiments conducted in the first part, both in terms of transducer and head geometry and in terms of acoustic parameters. Methods: In this study, 37 ultrasonic neurostimulation sessions were achieved in rats (N = 8) using a 320 kHz transducer. The corresponding beam profile in the entire head was simulated in order to investigate the in situ pressure and intensity level as well as the spatial pressure distribution, thanks to a rat microcomputed tomography scan (CT)-based 3D finite differences time domain solver. Results: Ultrasound pulse evoked a motor response in more than 60\% of the experimental sessions. In those sessions, the stimulation was always present, repeatable with a pressure threshold under which no motor response occurred. This average acoustic pressure threshold was found to be 0.68 ± 0.1 MPa (corresponding mechanical index, MI = 1.2 and spatial peak, pulse averaged intensity, Isppa = 7.5 W cm−2), as calibrated in free water. A slight variation was observed between deep anesthesia stage (0.77 ± 0.04 MPa) and light anesthesia stage (0.61 ± 0.03 MPa), assessed from the pedal reflex. Several kinds of motor responses were observed: movements of the tail, the hind legs, the forelimbs, the eye, and even a single whisker were induced separately. Numerical simulations of an equivalent experiment with identical acoustic parameters showed that the acoustic field was spread over the whole rat brain with the presence of several secondary pressure peaks. Due to reverberations, a 1.8-fold increase of the spatial peak, temporal peak acoustic pressure (Psptp) (±0.4 standard deviation), a 3.6-fold increase (±1.8) for the spatial peak, temporal peak acoustic intensity (Isptp), and 2.3 for the spatial peak, pulse averaged acoustic intensity (Isppa), were found compared to simulations of the beam in free water. Applying such corrections due to reverberations on the experimental results would yield a higher estimation for the average acoustic pressure threshold for motor neurostimulation at 320 KHz at 1.2 ± 0.3 MPa (MI = 2.2 ± 0.5 and Isppa = 17.5 ± 7.5 W cm−2). Conclusions: Transcranial ultrasonic stimulation is pressure- and anesthesia-dependent in the rat model. Numerical simulations have shown that the acoustic pattern can be complex inside the rat head and that special care must be taken for small animal studies relating acoustic parameters to neurostimulation effects, especially at a low frequency.}, number = {8}, urldate = {2015-12-21TZ}, journal = {Medical Physics}, author = {Younan, Youliana and Deffieux, Thomas and Larrat, Benoit and Fink, Mathias and Tanter, Mickael and Aubry, Jean-Francois}, month = aug, year = {2013}, keywords = {Brain, Sound pressure, Transducers, Ultrasonics, Ultrasonography}, pages = {082902} }

Image-based meta-analyses use full image information (i.e. the statistical parametric maps) and well-established statistics, but images are rarely available making them highly unfeasible. Peak-probability meta-analyses such as activation likelihood estimation (ALE) or multilevel kernel density analysis (MKDA) are more feasible as they only need reported peak coordinates. Signed-differences methods, such as signed differential mapping (SDM) build upon the positive features of existing peak-probability methods and enable meta-analyses of studies comparing patients with controls. In this paper we present a new version of SDM, named Effect Size SDM (ES-SDM), which enables the combination of statistical parametric maps and peak coordinates and uses well-established statistics. We validated the new method by comparing the results of an ES-SDM meta-analysis of studies on the brain response to fearful faces with the results of a pooled analysis of the original individual data. The results showed that ES-SDM is a valid and reliable coordinate-based method, whose performance might be additionally increased by including statistical parametric maps.

Ethnographic research was conducted in Casa classrooms, located in four Montessori schools, during a 3-year period, beginning in 2008. The research involved observing classrooms and interviewing school staff, teachers, and children. "Children who do not concentrate" was a common concern raised by the teachers in those classrooms. A review of brain development research suggests concentration is a type of attention. Children may use a type of attention called shared focus when, for example, they laugh and run together on the playground, and when they leave their parents during morning arrival. Some children may also more naturally use this type of attention instead of concentration during the work period.

Given the highly heritable nature of both disorders, studies of the genes explaining the shared origins of the two neurodevelopmental disorders seem particularly called for. Instead of the clinical diagnosis, using neurocognitive measures as (endo)phenotypes that index genetic liability appears a powerful tool in gene finding. We, therefore, extensively reviewed the literature and not only included research wherein ASD and ADHD were compared within a single study, but extended our search also to the separate lines of cognitive neuroscience research. We discuss which cognitive and brain measures will be useful in future genetic studies targeting pleiotropic genes for ASD and ADHD.

Both genes and environment are of critical importance when it comes to developmental processes, and it appears that subtle differences in either of these may be responsible for altering developmental trajectories that confer vulnerability or resilience.

Adults with ADHD (n=12) and controls (n=12) were recruited from an ongoing longitudinal study and were matched for age, IQ, and education. Individuals with comorbid conditions were excluded. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to identify and compare the brain activation patterns during correct trials of a response-inhibition task (Go/No-Go).

Adults with ADHD showed reduced brain activation in the right frontal eye field, pre-supplementary motor area, left precentral gyrus, and the inferior parietal lobe bilaterally. During successful inhibition of an inappropriate response, adults with ADHD display reduced activation in fronto-parietal networks previously implicated in working memory, goal-oriented attention, and response selection.

This review argues in favor of the use of zebrafish as a novel animal model to study the impact of early (stressful) experiences on the development of differential stress phenotypes in later life. This phenomenon is evolutionary conserved among several vertebrate species and has relevance to the etiology of psychiatric disorders. Why do we need novel animal models? Although significant progress has been achieved with the use of traditional mammalian models, there are major pitfalls associated with their use that impedes progress on two major fronts: 1) uncovering of the molecular mechanisms underlying aspects of compromised (stress-exposed) brain development relevant to the etiology of psychiatric disorders, and 2) ability to develop high-throughput technology for drug discovery in the field of psychiatry. The zebrafish model helps resolve these issues. Here we present a conceptual framework for the use of zebrafish in stress research and psychiatry by addressing three specific domains of application: 1) stress research, 2) human disease mechanisms, and 3) drug discovery. We also present novel methodologies associated with the development of the zebrafish stress model and discuss how such methodologies can contribute to remove the main bottleneck in the field of drug discovery.}, number = {6}, urldate = {2014-08-13}, journal = {Progress in neuro-psychopharmacology \& biological psychiatry}, author = {Steenbergen, Peter J and Richardson, Michael K and Champagne, Danielle L}, month = aug, year = {2011}, pmid = {20971150}, keywords = {\#nosource, Animals, Brain, Brain: growth \& development, Brain: physiology, Disease Models, Animal, Drug Discovery, Drug Discovery: methods, Drug Evaluation, Preclinical, Drug Evaluation, Preclinical: methods, Forecasting, High-Throughput Screening Assays, High-Throughput Screening Assays: methods, Humans, Life Change Events, Mental Disorders, Mental Disorders: etiology, Neurosecretory Systems, Neurosecretory Systems: physiology, Neurosecretory Systems: physiopathology, Stress, Psychological, Stress, Psychological: physiopathology, Stress, Psychological: psychology, Zebrafish, stress, zebrafish}, pages = {1432--51}, }

Exposure to PBDEs during the neonatal development of the brain has been shown to affect behavior and learning and memory in adult mice, while neonatal exposure to TBBPA (another brominated flame retardant) did not affect behavioral variables in the adult. In this study, we hypothesized that the effects of these compounds could be reflected by changes in biochemical substrates and cholinergic receptors and have examined the levels of four proteins involved in maturation of the brain, neuronal growth and synaptogenesis and the densities of both muscarinic and nicotinic cholinergic receptors. We measured the levels of radioactivity in the brain after administration of (14)C-labelled TBBPA at different time points and saw that levels of TBBA peaked earlier and decreased faster than the earlier reported levels of PBDE 99. The protein analysis in the neonatal brain showed changes in the levels of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII), growth associated protein-43 (GAP-43) and synaptophysin following neonatal exposure to PBDE 99 (21 μmol/kg body weight), but not following exposure TBBPA. Furthermore, neonatal exposure to PBDE 99 and TBBPA caused a decrease in binding sites of the nicotinic ligand cytisine in frontal cortex. These results confirm earlier reported data that PBDE 99 can act as a developmental neurotoxicant, possibly due to its different uptake and retention in the brain compared to TBBPA. In addition, the changes in protein levels are interesting leads in the search for mechanisms behind the developmental neonatal neurotoxicity of PBDEs in general and PBDE 99 in particular, since also other compounds inducing similar adult behavioral disturbances as PBDE 99, affect these proteins during the period of rapid brain development.}, number = {1}, journal = {Toxicology}, author = {Viberg, Henrik and Eriksson, Per}, month = oct, year = {2011}, pmid = {21820030}, keywords = {Alkaloids, Alkaloids: metabolism, Animals, Azocines, Azocines: metabolism, Brain, Brain: drug effects, Brain: metabolism, Calcium-Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase Type 2, Flame Retardants: toxicity, Flame retardants, GAP-43 Protein, GAP-43 Protein: metabolism, Halogenated Diphenyl Ethers, Halogenated Diphenyl Ethers: toxicity, Immunoblotting, Male, Mice, Neurotoxicity Syndromes, Neurotoxicity Syndromes: etiology, Neurotoxicity Syndromes: metabolism, Newborn, Polybrominated Biphenyls, Polybrominated Biphenyls: toxicity, Quinolizines, Quinolizines: metabolism, Synaptophysin, Synaptophysin: metabolism, unsure}, pages = {59--65}, }

Despite the wealth of data available in neuroscience, our understanding of this system is still very limited. Here we argue that an essential component in our arsenal of methods to advance our understanding of the brain is the construction of artificial brain-like systems. In this way we can encompass the multi-level organisation of the brain and its role in the context of the complete embodied real-world and real-time perceiving and behaving system. Hence, on the one hand, we must be able to develop and validate theories of brains as closing the loop between perception and action, and on the other hand as interacting with the real world. Evidence is growing that one of the sources of the computational power of neuronal systems lies in the massive and specific connectivity, rather than the complexity of single elements. To meet these challenges-multiple levels of organisation, sophisticated connectivity, and the interaction of neuronal models with the real-world-we have developed a multi-level neuronal simulation environment, iqr. This framework deals with these requirements by directly transforming them into the core elements of the simulation environment itself. iqr provides a means to design complex neuronal models graphically, and to visualise and analyse their properties on-line. In iqr connectivity is defined in a flexible, yet compact way, and simulations run at a high speed, which allows the control of real-world devices-robots in the broader sense-in real-time. The architecture of iqr is modular, providing the possibility to write new neuron, and synapse types, and custom interfaces to other hardware systems. The code of iqr is publicly accessible under the GNU General Public License (GPL). iqr has been in use since 1996 and has been the core tool for a large number of studies ranging from detailed models of neuronal systems like the cerebral cortex, and the cerebellum, to robot based models of perception, cognition and action to large-scale real-world systems. In addition, iqr has been widely used over many years to introduce students to neuronal simulation and neuromorphic control. In this paper we outline the conceptual and methodological background of iqr and its design philosophy. Thereafter we present iqr's main features and computational properties. Finally, we describe a number of projects using iqr, singling out how iqr is used for building a "synthetic insect".}, bibtype = {article}, author = {Bernardet, Ulysses and Verschure, Paul F.M.J.}, journal = {Neuroinformatics}, number = {2} }

Oscillation analyses conducted on the Think/No-Think (TNT) task and volitional suppression of retrieval are of interest to broaden our knowledge of neural oscillations associated not only during successful memory retrieval but also when retrieval is unwanted or suppressed. In the current study, we measured EEG during a TNT task and performed ERP and EEG spectral power band analyses. ERP results replicated other researchers' observations of increases in 500-800 msec parietal effects for items where retrieval was instructed to be elaborated compared with being suppressed. Furthermore, EEG analyses indicated increased alpha (8-12 Hz) and theta (3-8 Hz) oscillations across parietal electrodes for items that were instructed to be suppressed versus those to be elaborated. Additionally, during the second half of the experiment (after repeated attempts at control), increases in theta oscillations were found across both frontal and parietal electrodes for items that were instructed to be suppressed and that were ultimately forgotten versus those ultimately remembered. Increased alpha power for items that were instructed to be suppressed versus elaborated may indicate reductions of retrieval attempts or lack of retrieval success. Increased theta power for items that were instructed to be suppressed versus elaborated may indicate increased or prolonged cognitive control to monitor retrieval events.}, bibtype = {article}, author = {Depue, Brendan Eliot and Ketz, Nick and Mollison, Matthew V and Nyhus, Erika and Banich, Marie T and Curran, Tim}, journal = {Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience}, number = {10} }

This raises the question concerning common neurobiological pathomechanisms and concerning common treatments. RECENT FINDINGS: On genetic, biochemical, electrophysiological, brain morphological and neuropsychological levels, the commonalities of ADHD and mania and the commonalities between ADHD and bipolar disorder (independent of manic state) are outlined. An intriguing finding is that both ADHD and mania are characterized by an unstable wakefulness regulation assessed by EEG measures of vigilance, by ratings of sleepiness and by deficits in sustained attention tasks. In both mania and ADHD, this unstable wakefulness regulation is supposed to be a central pathogenetic factor leading to attention deficits and inducing the hyperactive, impulsive and sensation-seeking behavior as an autoregulatory attempt to stabilize wakefulness by increasing external stimulation. Evidence is accumulating to suggest that psychostimulants do not have a high risk of triggering or aggravating mania, but might even be a treatment option in acute mania. SUMMARY: ADHD and mania share many symptoms and several pathogenetic aspects. The common belief that stimulants are contraindicated in mania has been challenged, and controlled trials to study the possible antimanic effects of vigilance-stabilizing drugs such as stimulants are justified and necessary.}, number = {1}, urldate = {2015-05-09}, journal = {Current opinion in psychiatry}, author = {Hegerl, Ulrich and Himmerich, Hubertus and Engmann, Birk and Hensch, Tilman}, month = jan, year = {2010}, pmid = {19770771}, keywords = {Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity, Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity: dia, Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity: eti, Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity: phy, Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity: the, Bipolar Disorder, Bipolar Disorder: diagnosis, Bipolar Disorder: etiology, Bipolar Disorder: physiopathology, Bipolar Disorder: therapy, Brain, Brain: physiopathology, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disord, Humans}, pages = {1--7}, }

Previous studies have suggested that {VPA} exposure in rats at E9 caused a dramatic shift in the distribution of serotonergic neurons on postnatal day 50 ({PND}50). Behavioral studies have also been performed but on rats that were exposed to {VPA} later (E12.5). Our aim was to test whether {VPA} exposure at E9 induces comparable behavioral impairments than at E12.5 and causes serotonergic impairments which could be related to behavioral modifications. The results showed significant behavioral impairments such as a lower tendency to initiate social interactions and hyperlocomotor activity in juvenile male rats. The serotonin levels of these animals at {PND}50 were decreased (-46%) in the hippocampus, a structure involved in social behavior.

Using peripheral non-informative cues, exogenous attention was oriented either to the same location of a near-threshold target (valid cues), or to the opposite location (invalid cues). Confirming previous research, consciously perceived targets elicited a larger P300 than unseen targets. Importantly, analysis of cue-locked potentials revealed the novel finding that there was a systematic relationship between the amplitude of a P100 component elicited by the cues and the conscious perception of the targets. Valid cues led to the conscious perception of the subsequent targets when they captured attention to their location, as indexed by the P100 component distributed over occipito-parietal areas. On the other hand, invalid cues led to the conscious perception of the subsequent targets only when they failed to capture attention at their location (opposite to the target location).

Moreover, regular physical activity can preserve or delay the appearance of several metabolic disorders in the human body. Physical exercise is also known to enhance the mood and cognitive functions of active people, although the physiological backgrounds of these effects remain unclear. In recent years, since the pioneering study in the past showed that physical activity increases the expression of the brain derived neurothophic factor (BDNF) in the rat brain, a number of studies were undertaken in order to establish the link between that neurothrophin and post-exercise enhancement of mood and cognitive functions in humans.

It was also reported that physical exercise or electrical stimulation can increase the BDNF expression in the skeletal muscles.

The glial architecture of teleost brain has been intensively studied in the carp and few data exist on trout brain. In this study, using immunoblotting we characterized the topographic distribution of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in larval and adult rainbow trout brain and studied by immunohistochemistry the distribution and morphology of GFAP-immunoreactive cell systems in the rainbow trout hindbrain and spinal cord. Immunoblotting yielded a double band with an apparent molecular weight of 50-52 kDa in the spinal cord homogenate in the trout larval and adult stages. In the adult hindbrain and forebrain, our antibody cross reacted also with a second band at a higher molecular weight (90 kDa). Because the forebrain contained this band alone the two brain regions might contain two distinct isoforms. Conversely, the larval total brain homogenate contained the heavy 90 kDa band alone. Hence the heavy band might be a GFAP protein dimer or vimentin/GFAP copolymer reflecting nerve fiber growth and elongation, or the two isoforms might indicate two distinct astroglial cell types as recently proposed in the zebrafish. In sections from trout hindbrain and spinal cord the antibody detected a GFAP-immunoreactive glial fiber system observed in the raphe and in the glial septa separating the nerve tracts. These radial glia fibers thickened toward the pial surface, where they formed glial end feet. The antibody also labeled perivascular glia around blood vessels in the white matter, and the ependymoglial plexus surrounding the ventricular surface in the grey matter.

Thirty-one adolescents systemically selected from a longitudinal study on child development based on gestational age, birth weight and neonatal complications (full term, low-risk premature, high-risk premature) and reading ability (good, average or poor) performed two reading-based rhyme tasks during MEG recording. Equivalent current dipoles were localized every 4 ms during the 150 ms to 550 ms period following the onset of the word presentation. The association of the mean number of dipole (NOD) with birth risk, reading ability and latency was examined. During the real-word rhyme task, adolescents born at high-risk demonstrated a greater NOD in the left prefrontal area than those born at low-risk and term. During the non-word rhyme task, good and average readers born at high-risk demonstrated a greater NOD in the left prefrontal area than good and average readers born at low-risk and term. Time course analysis confirmed increased activation in the left prefrontal regions of those born at high-risk. This study suggests that adolescents born prematurely at high-risk, as compared to those born at low-risk and term, demonstrate increased prefrontal cortical activation during a reading task.

Furthermore it has aggregation promoting properties and is a constituent in pathological protein deposits of neurodegenerative diseases. In the brain, TPPP/p25α is present in myelinating oligodendrocytes. Here we show, using cultured rat brain oligodendrocytes, that TPPP/p25α expression is increasing during development in culture, and particularly in immature cells is associated with the centrosome. MT binding properties in oligodendrocytes are rather low, however, when MTs are disassembled by nocodazole, TPPP/p25α accumulates in the perinuclear region. Treatment of oligodendrocytes with the proteasomal inhibitor MG-132 (1 μM; 18 h) caused an increase in the amount of TPPP/p25α by about 40\%, a decrease in its solubility, and led to the appearance of TPPP/p25α-positive cytoplasmic inclusions, which stained with thioflavin S and resembled inclusion bodies. Hence, it might be speculated that acute or chronic malfunction of the proteasomal degradation system, leading to the accumulation of aggregation prone proteins and the pro-aggregatory protein TPPP/p25α or to the aggregation of TPPP/p25α on its own, is causally related to the protein aggregation process in a variety of neurodegenerative diseases. © 2008 Wiley-Liss, Inc.}, language = {en}, number = {16}, urldate = {2018-05-21}, journal = {Glia}, author = {Goldbaum, Olaf and Jensen, Poul Henning and Richter‐Landsberg, Christiane}, month = dec, year = {2008}, keywords = {Animals, Brain, Carrier Proteins, Cell Differentiation, Cells, Centrosome, Cultured, Developmental, Enzyme Inhibitors, Gene Expression Regulation, Inclusion Bodies, Leupeptins, MSA, Nerve Tissue Proteins, Nocodazole, Oligodendroglia, Peptide Hydrolases, Proteasome Endopeptidase Complex, Proteasome Inhibitors, Rats, Tubulin, Tubulin Modulators, Up-Regulation, Wistar, glial inclusion body, microtubules, proteolytic stress, α-synuclein}, pages = {1736--1746}, }

Using a simple set-up with fixed spaced electrodes and microinjection equipment, it is possible to electroporate 50 to 100 embryos in 1 hour with no lethality and consistently high levels of transgene expression in numerous cells. Transfected cells in the zebrafish brain are amenable to in vivo time lapse imaging. Explants containing transfected neurons can be cultured for in vitro analysis. We also present a simple enzymatic method to isolate whole brains from fixed zebrafish for immunocytochemistry.

In the past 25 years, PBDEs have become ubiquitous environmental contaminants. They have been detected in soil, air, sediments, birds, marine species, fish, house dust, and human tissues, blood and breast milk. Diet and house dust appear to be the major sources of PBDE exposure in the general population, though occupational exposure can also occur. Levels of PBDEs in human tissues are particularly high in North America, compared to Asian and European countries, and have been increasing in the past 30 years. Concentrations of PBDEs are particularly high in breast milk, resulting in high exposure of infants. In addition, for toddlers, dust has been estimated to account for a large percentage of exposure. PBDEs can also cross the placenta, as they have been detected in fetal blood and liver. Tetra-, penta- and hexaBDEs are most commonly present in human tissues. The current greatest concern for potential adverse effects of PBDEs relates to their developmental neurotoxicity. Pre- or postnatal exposure of mice or rats to various PBDEs has been shown to cause long-lasting changes in spontaneous motor activity, mostly characterized as hyperactivity or decreased habituation, and to disrupt performance in learning and memory tests. While a reduction in circulating thyroid hormone (T(4)) may contribute to the developmental neurotoxicity of PBDEs, direct effects on the developing brain have also been reported. Among these, PBDEs have been shown to affect signal transduction pathways and to cause oxidative stress. Levels of PBDEs causing developmental neurotoxicity in animals are not much dissimilar from levels found in highly exposed infants and toddlers.}, number = {6}, journal = {Neurotoxicology}, author = {Costa, Lucio G and Giordano, Gennaro}, month = nov, year = {2007}, pmid = {17904639}, keywords = {Animal, Animal: drug effects, Animals, Behavior, Biomarkers, Body Burden, Brain, Brain: drug effects, Brain: embryology, Embryo, Environmental Pollutants, Environmental Pollutants: pharmacokinetics, Environmental Pollutants: toxicity, Female, Flame Retardants: pharmacokinetics, Flame Retardants: toxicity, Flame retardants, Humans, Mammalian, Mammalian: drug effects, Nervous System, Nervous System: drug effects, Nervous System: embryology, Nervous System: metabolism, Oxidative Stress, Oxidative Stress: drug effects, Pharmacological, Pharmacological: metabolism, Polybrominated Biphenyls, Polybrominated Biphenyls: pharmacokinetics, Polybrominated Biphenyls: toxicity, Pregnancy, Prenatal Exposure Delayed Effects, Risk Assessment, Signal Transduction, Signal Transduction: drug effects, Thyroid Hormones, Thyroid Hormones: metabolism, ffr, tox}, pages = {1047--67}, }

EEG was recorded from 21 sites during an eyes-closed resting condition and Fourier transformed to provide estimates for total power, and absolute and relative power in the delta, theta, alpha and beta bands. RESULTS: Children with AD/HD had increased theta activity with decreased levels of alpha and beta activity compared to control subjects. IQ was not found to impact on the EEG. No significant differences were found between subjects with normal and low IQs, with the low- and high-IQ AD/HD groups having similar EEG profiles. CONCLUSIONS: Low-IQ children with AD/HD have similar EEG abnormalities to those with normal IQs, and IQ does not appear to impact on EEG power measures.

The neurobiological basis for internal models is provided by the connectivity and the dynamical properties of neurons. Thus, the interactions between neural tissues and external devices provide a fundamental means for investigating the connectivity and dynamical properties of neural populations. We developed this idea, suggested in the 1980s by Valentino Braitenberg, for investigating and representing the dynamical behavior of neuronal populations in the brainstem of the lamprey. The brainstem was maintained in vitro and connected in a closed loop with two types of artificial device: (a) a simulated dynamical system and (b) a small mobile robot. In both cases, the device was controlled by recorded extracellular signals and its output was translated into electrical stimuli delivered to the neural system. The goal of the first study was to estimate the dynamical dimension of neural preparation in a single-input/single-output configuration. The dynamical dimension is the number of state variables that together with the applied input determine the output of a system. The results indicate that while this neural system has significant dynamical properties, its effective complexity, as established by the dynamical dimension, is rather moderate. In the second study, we considered a more specific situation, in which the same portion of the nervous system controls a robotic device in a two-input/two-output configuration. We fitted the input-output data from the neuro-robotic preparation to neural network models having different internal dynamics and we observed the generalization error of each model. Consistent with the first study, this second experiment showed that a simple recurrent dynamical model was able to capture the behavior of the hybrid system.

Three different subject groups were investigated to examine developmental aspects and effects of musical training: 10-year-old children with varying degrees of musical training, adults without formal musical training (nonmusicians), and adult musicians. Subjects made judgements on sequences that ended on chords that were music-syntactically either regular or irregular. In adults, irregular chords activated the inferior frontal gyrus, orbital frontolateral cortex, the anterior insula, ventrolateral premotor cortex, anterior and posterior areas of the superior temporal gyrus, the superior temporal sulcus, and the supramarginal gyrus. These structures presumably form different networks mediating cognitive aspects of music processing (such as processing of musical syntax and musical meaning, as well as auditory working memory), and possibly emotional aspects of music processing. In the right hemisphere, the activation pattern of children was similar to that of adults. In the left hemisphere, adults showed larger activations than children in prefrontal areas, in the supramarginal gyrus, and in temporal areas. In both adults and children, musical training was correlated with stronger activations in the frontal operculum and the anterior portion of the superior temporal gyrus. © 2005 Elsevier Inc.

We investigated the existence of alpha-synuclein pro-aggregatory brain proteins whose dysregulation may contribute to disease progression, and we identified the brain-specific p25alpha as a candidate that preferentially binds to alpha-synuclein in its aggregated state. Functionally, purified recombinant human p25alpha strongly stimulates the aggregation of alpha-synuclein in vitro as demonstrated by thioflavin-T fluorescence and quantitative electron microscopy. p25alpha is normally only expressed in oligodendrocytes in contrast to alpha-synuclein, which is normally only expressed in neurons. This expression pattern is changed in alpha-synucleinopathies. In multiple systems atrophy, degenerating oligodendrocytes displayed accumulation of p25alpha and dystopically expressed alpha-synuclein in the glial cytoplasmic inclusions. In Parkinson's disease and Lewy body dementia, p25alpha was detectable in the neuronal Lewy body inclusions along with alpha-synuclein. The localization in alpha-synuclein-containing inclusions was verified biochemically by immunological detection in Lewy body inclusions purified from Lewy body dementia tissue and glial cytoplasmic inclusions purified from tissue from multiple systems atrophy.

Similarly, vascular depression is mostly considered to be the consequence of microvascular lesions on prefrontal and subcortical regions. However, this functional neuroanatomical model offers no explanation for cases where depression has been shown to precede vascular diseases.

The disease was first characterized in bald eagles in Arkansas in 1994 and then in American coots in 1996. To date, AVM has been confirmed in six additional avian species. Attempts to identify the etiology of AVM have been unsuccessful to date. The objective of this study was to evaluate dermal and oral routes of exposure of birds to hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata) and associated materials to evaluate their ability to induce AVM. Mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) were used in all trials; bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus) also were used in one fresh hydrilla material exposure trial. Five trials were conducted, including two fresh hydrilla material exposure trials, two cyanobacteria exposure trials, and a frozen hydrilla material exposure trial. The cyanobacteria exposure trials and frozen hydrilla material trial involved gavaging mallards with either Pseudanabaena catenata (live culture), Hapalosiphon fontinalis, or frozen hydrilla material with both cyanobacteria species present. With the exception of one fresh hydrilla exposure trial, results were negative or inconclusive. In the 2002 hydrilla material exposure trial, six of nine treated ducks had histologic lesions of AVM. This established the first cause-effect link between aquatic vegetation and AVM and provided evidence supporting an aquatic source for the causal agent.}, bibtype = {article}, author = {Birrenkott, Anna H. and Wilde, Susan B. and Hains, John J. and Fischer, John R. and Murphy, Thomas M. and Hope, Charlotte P. and Parnell, Pamela G. and Bowerman, William W.}, journal = {Journal of Wildlife Diseases}, number = {3} }

OBJECTIVES: To study the influence of the spatial position of limbs on left tactile extinction, and its relations with left visual neglect. METHODS: Normal participants and patients with right cerebral hemisphere damage and left tactile extinction were asked to detect single or double light touch stimuli applied to their cheeks, hands, or knees with their arm and legs either in anatomical or in crossed position, increasing the attentional load of the task. RESULTS: In patients with left extinction, limb crossing caused a deterioration in performance for stimuli applied to right body parts, with only a tendency to an improvement in detection for left body parts (only two of 24 patients showed substantial ({\textgreater}20\%) improvement in left extinction after limb crossing). After crossing, left limb detections of double stimuli decreased with increasing degrees of visual neglect. CONCLUSIONS: In conditions of high attentional load, limb crossing may impair tactile detection in most patients with left extinction, and particularly in those showing signs of left visual neglect. These results underline the importance of general attentional capacity in determining tactile extinction. Attentional and somatotopic mechanisms of extinction may assume different weights in different patients.}, number = {1}, journal = {Journal of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry}, author = {Bartolomeo, P and Perri, R and Gainotti, G}, month = jan, year = {2004}, keywords = {Female, Humans, Male, Aged, Middle Aged, Aged, 80 and over, Attention, Functional Laterality, Task Performance and Analysis, Perceptual Disorders, Brain, Touch, Perceptual disorders, Attention, Somatosensory disorders, Right brain damage, Neglect, Agnosia, \#nosource, ⛔ No DOI found}, pages = {49--55}, annote = {PAPERS}, }

The inability of most animals to recognize the mental states of others distinguishes animal communication most clearly from human language.

METHODS: ERD/ERS responses of the 4-6, 6-8, 8-10 and 10-12 Hz EEG frequency bands were studied in 24 normal subjects performing a visual sequential letter task (so-called n-back task) in which memory load was varied from 0 to 2. RESULTS: In the 4-6 Hz theta frequency band, a long-lasting synchronization was observed in the anterior electrodes, especially after the presentation of targets. In the 6-8 and 8-10 Hz frequency bands, anterior ERS was elicited especially in the 2-back condition (highest memory load). In contrast to the responses of the 8-10 Hz frequency band, in the 10-12 Hz frequency band the 2-back experimental condition elicited the greatest ERD. CONCLUSIONS: In the highest memory load (2-back) experimental condition the attentional capacities were most probably exceeded, resulting in 6-8 and 8-10 Hz ERS.

The brain may control complex movements through flexible combination of motor primitives, where each primitive is an element of computation in the sensorimotor map that transforms desired limb trajectories into motor commands. Theoretical studies have shown that a system's ability to learn action depends on the shape of its primitives. Using a time-series analysis of error patterns, here we show that humans learn the dynamics of reaching movements through a flexible combination of primitives that have gaussian-like tuning functions encoding hand velocity. The wide tuning of the inferred primitives predicts limitations on the brain's ability to represent viscous dynamics. We find close agreement between the predicted limitations and the subjects' adaptation to new force fields. The mathematical properties of the derived primitives resemble the tuning curves of Purkinje cells in the cerebellum. The activity of these cells may encode primitives that underlie the learning of dynamics.}, doi = {10.1038/35037588}, keywords = {Computing Methodologies, Human, Language, Learning, Mental Processes, Models, Theoretical, Stochastic Processes, Support, U.S. Gov't, Non-P.H.S., Cognition, Linguistics, Neural Networks (Computer), Practice (Psychology), Non-U.S. Gov't, Memory, Psychological, Task Performance and Analysis, Time Factors, Visual Perception, Adult, Attention, Discrimination Learning, Female, Male, Short-Term, Mental Recall, Orientation, Pattern Recognition, Visual, Perceptual Masking, Reading, Concept Formation, Form Perception, Animals, Corpus Striatum, Shrews, P.H.S., Visual Cortex, Visual Pathways, Acoustic Stimulation, Auditory Cortex, Auditory Perception, Cochlea, Ear, Gerbillinae, Glycine, Hearing, Neurons, Space Perception, Strychnine, Adolescent, Decision Making, Reaction Time, Astrocytoma, Brain Mapping, Brain Neoplasms, Cerebral Cortex, Electric Stimulation, Electrophysiology, Epilepsy, Temporal Lobe, Evoked Potentials, Frontal Lobe, Noise, Parietal Lobe, Scalp, Child, Language Development, Psycholinguistics, Brain, Perception, Speech, Vocalization, Animal, Discrimination (Psychology), Hippocampus, Rats, Calcium, Chelating Agents, Excitatory Postsynaptic Potentials, Glutamic Acid, Guanosine Diphosphate, In Vitro, Neuronal Plasticity, Pyramidal Cells, Receptors, AMPA, Metabotropic Glutamate, N-Methyl-D-Aspartate, Somatosensory Cortex, Synapses, Synaptic Transmission, Thionucleotides, Action Potentials, Calcium Channels, L-Type, Electric Conductivity, Entorhinal Cortex, Neurological, Long-Evans, Infant, Mathematics, Statistics, Probability Learning, Problem Solving, Psychophysics, Association Learning, Child Psychology, Habituation (Psychophysiology), Probability Theory, Analysis of Variance, Semantics, Symbolism, Behavior, Eye Movements, Macaca mulatta, Prefrontal Cortex, Cats, Dogs, Haplorhini, Photic Stimulation, Electroencephalography, Nervous System Physiology, Darkness, Grasshoppers, Light, Membrane Potentials, Neural Inhibition, Afferent, Picrotoxin, Vision, Deoxyglucose, Injections, Microspheres, Neural Pathways, Rhodamines, Choice Behavior, Speech Perception, Verbal Learning, Dominance, Cerebral, Fixation, Ocular, Language Tests, Random Allocation, Comparative Study, Saguinus, Sound Spectrography, Species Specificity, Audiometry, Auditory Threshold, Calibration, Data Interpretation, Statistical, Anesthesia, General, Electrodes, Implanted, Pitch Perception, Sound Localization, Paired-Associate Learning, Serial Learning, Auditory, Age Factors, Motion Perception, Brain Injuries, Computer Simulation, Blindness, Psychomotor Performance, Color Perception, Signal Detection (Psychology), Judgment, ROC Curve, Regression Analysis, Music, Probability, Arm, Cerebrovascular Disorders, Hemiplegia, Movement, Muscle, Skeletal, Myoclonus, Robotics, Magnetoencephalography, Phonetics, Software, Speech Production Measurement, Epilepsies, Partial, Laterality, Stereotaxic Techniques, Germany, Speech Acoustics, Verbal Behavior, Child Development, Instinct, Brain Stem, Coma, Diagnosis, Differential, Hearing Disorders, Hearing Loss, Central, Neuroma, Acoustic, Dendrites, Down-Regulation, Patch-Clamp Techniques, Wistar, Up-Regulation, Aged, Aphasia, Middle Aged, Cones (Retina), Primates, Retina, Retinal Ganglion Cells, Tympanic Membrane, Cell Communication, Extremities, Biological, Motor Activity, Rana catesbeiana, Spinal Cord, Central Nervous System, Motion, Motor Cortex, Intelligence, Macaca fascicularis, Adoption, Critical Period (Psychology), France, Korea, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Multilingualism, Auditory Pathways, Cochlear Nerve, Loudness Perception, Neural Conduction, Sensory Thresholds, Sound, Language Disorders, Preschool, Generalization (Psychology), Vocabulary, Biophysics, Nerve Net, Potassium Channels, Sodium Channels, Cues, Differential Threshold, Arousal, Newborn, Sucking Behavior, Ferrets, Microelectrodes, Gestalt Theory, Mathematical Computing, Perceptual Closure, Vestibulocochlear Nerve, Brain Damage, Chronic, Regional Blood Flow, Thinking, Tomography, Emission-Computed, Case-Control Studies, Multivariate Analysis, Artificial Intelligence, Depth Perception, 11048700}, }

On the dual-route account, inflectional morphology is universally subserved by a symbolic rule route which deals with regular inflection and an associative memory component which deals with irregular inflection. This contrasts with single-route connectionist systems. We seek to counter supposed evidence for the dual-route account through large-scale simulations as well as through experimental data. We argue that, in its current form, the dual-route account is incapable of generating experimental data provided by Marcus et al. (1995) as support.

The ablations were primarily confined to the medial ectosylvian gyrus, although in one case extended into the high-frequency portion of the anterior auditory field. Comparisons between the behavior of units isolated before and after AI ablation failed to demonstrate any changes in the response properties of neurons in Field P attributable to the ablation. Nonmonotonic response profiles, first spike latency, variability in latency, threshold and maximal discharge rates of the units to acoustic stimuli were not significantly altered by the AI ablation.

Our first study found that they were less accurate when the reported features were identical ("repetition blindness," or RB), while repetition along the unreported dimension had no effect. Three follow-up studies confirmed that when the same dimension was judged (overtly or covertly) for both stimuli, performance was only affected by repetition along that dimension. However, when different dimensions were judged for the two stimuli, performance was affected by repetition on both dimensions. These findings support new conclusions about both RB and visual attention. First, RB depends critically on visual attention, rather than simply on the stimulus presented or the overt response required. Second, while attention can be restricted to a single visual dimension, this is efficient only when the same dimension is selected for both objects.

Direction preference was strictly associated with the slopes of the cell's spike count-versus-frequency function over the frequency range covered by the ramp. Preferences for upward- and downward-directed ramps were associated with the low- and high-frequency slopes of the spike count function, respectively. The strength of the cell's direction preference was associated with the relative steepness of the spike count function over the frequency range covered by the ramp.

@Article{Phillips1984, author = {DP Phillips and SS Orman}, journal = {J Neurophysiol}, title = {Responses of single neurons in posterior field of cat auditory cortex to tonal stimulation.}, year = {1984}, note = {as cited by \citeNP{Heil1998}}, number = {1}, pages = {147-63}, volume = {51}, abstract = {In the auditory cortex of barbiturate-anesthetized cats, the posterior auditory field (field P) was identified by its tonotopic organization, and single neurons in that field were studied quantitatively for their sensitivity to the frequency and intensity of tonal stimuli presented via calibrated, sealed stimulating systems. Field P neurons had narrow, V-shaped, threshold frequency tuning curves. At suprathreshold levels, spike counts were generally greatest at frequencies at or close to the neuron's threshold best frequency (BF). Eighty-six percent of posterior-field neurons displayed spike counts that were a nonmonotonic function of the intensity of a BF tone. Of these, over 90\% showed at least a 50\% reduction in spike count at high stimulus levels, and almost 20\% of nonmonotonic cells ceased responding entirely at high stimulus intensities. The nonmonotonic shape of spike count-versus-intensity profiles was typically preserved across the range of frequencies to which any given neuron was responsive. For some neurons, this had the consequence of generating a completely circumscribed frequency-intensity response area. That is, these neurons responded to a tonal stimulus only if the stimulus was within a restricted range of both frequency and intensity. These response areas showed internal organizations that appeared to reflect one or both of two processes. For some neurons, the optimal sound pressure level for spike counts varied with tone frequency, roughly paralleling the threshold tuning curve. For other neurons, the optimal sound pressure level tended to be constant across frequency despite threshold variations of up to 20 dB. The minimum response latencies of posterior-field neurons were generally in the range of 20-50 ms, while cells in the primary auditory cortex (AI) in the same animals generally had minimum latent periods of less than 20 ms. Comparison of these data with those previously presented for neurons in two other cortical auditory fields suggests that the cat's auditory cortex might show an interfield segregation of neurons according to their coding properties.}, keywords = {Computing Methodologies, Human, Language, Learning, Mental Processes, Models, Theoretical, Stochastic Processes, Support, U.S. Gov't, Non-P.H.S., Cognition, Linguistics, Neural Networks (Computer), Practice (Psychology), Non-U.S. Gov't, Memory, Psychological, Task Performance and Analysis, Time Factors, Visual Perception, Adult, Attention, Discrimination Learning, Female, Male, Short-Term, Mental Recall, Orientation, Pattern Recognition, Visual, Perceptual Masking, Reading, Concept Formation, Form Perception, Animals, Corpus Striatum, Shrews, P.H.S., Visual Cortex, Visual Pathways, Acoustic Stimulation, Auditory Cortex, Auditory Perception, Cochlea, Ear, Gerbillinae, Glycine, Hearing, Neurons, Space Perception, Strychnine, Adolescent, Decision Making, Reaction Time, Astrocytoma, Brain Mapping, Brain Neoplasms, Cerebral Cortex, Electric Stimulation, Electrophysiology, Epilepsy, Temporal Lobe, Evoked Potentials, Frontal Lobe, Noise, Parietal Lobe, Scalp, Child, Language Development, Psycholinguistics, Brain, Perception, Speech, Vocalization, Animal, Discrimination (Psychology), Hippocampus, Rats, Calcium, Chelating Agents, Excitatory Postsynaptic Potentials, Glutamic Acid, Guanosine Diphosphate, In Vitro, Neuronal Plasticity, Pyramidal Cells, Receptors, AMPA, Metabotropic Glutamate, N-Methyl-D-Aspartate, Somatosensory Cortex, Synapses, Synaptic Transmission, Thionucleotides, Action Potentials, Calcium Channels, L-Type, Electric Conductivity, Entorhinal Cortex, Neurological, Long-Evans, Infant, Mathematics, Statistics, Probability Learning, Problem Solving, Psychophysics, Association Learning, Child Psychology, Habituation (Psychophysiology), Probability Theory, Analysis of Variance, Semantics, Symbolism, Behavior, Eye Movements, Macaca mulatta, Prefrontal Cortex, Cats, Dogs, Haplorhini, Photic Stimulation, Electroencephalography, Nervous System Physiology, Darkness, Grasshoppers, Light, Membrane Potentials, Neural Inhibition, Afferent, Picrotoxin, Vision, Deoxyglucose, Injections, Microspheres, Neural Pathways, Rhodamines, Choice Behavior, Speech Perception, Verbal Learning, Dominance, Cerebral, Fixation, Ocular, Language Tests, Random Allocation, Comparative Study, Saguinus, Sound Spectrography, Species Specificity, Audiometry, Auditory Threshold, Calibration, Data Interpretation, Statistical, Anesthesia, General, Electrodes, Implanted, Pitch Perception, Sound Localization, Paired-Associate Learning, Serial Learning, Auditory, Age Factors, Motion Perception, Brain Injuries, Computer Simulation, Blindness, Psychomotor Performance, Color Perception, Signal Detection (Psychology), Judgment, ROC Curve, Regression Analysis, Music, Probability, Arm, Cerebrovascular Disorders, Hemiplegia, Movement, Muscle, Skeletal, Myoclonus, Robotics, Magnetoencephalography, Phonetics, Software, Speech Production Measurement, Epilepsies, Partial, Laterality, Stereotaxic Techniques, Germany, Speech Acoustics, Verbal Behavior, Child Development, Instinct, Brain Stem, Coma, Diagnosis, Differential, Hearing Disorders, Hearing Loss, Central, Neuroma, Acoustic, Dendrites, Down-Regulation, Patch-Clamp Techniques, Wistar, Up-Regulation, Aged, Aphasia, Middle Aged, Cones (Retina), Primates, Retina, Retinal Ganglion Cells, Tympanic Membrane, Cell Communication, Extremities, Biological, Motor Activity, Rana catesbeiana, Spinal Cord, Central Nervous System, Motion, Motor Cortex, Intelligence, Macaca fascicularis, Adoption, Critical Period (Psychology), France, Korea, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Multilingualism, Auditory Pathways, Cochlear Nerve, Loudness Perception, 6693932}, }

@article{ senkowski_gamma-band_2009, title = {Gamma-band activity reflects multisensory matching in working memory}, volume = {198}, issn = {1432-1106}, doi = {10.1007/s00221-009-1835-0}, abstract = {In real-world situations, the integration of sensory information in working memory ({WM}) is an important mechanism for the recognition of objects. Studies in single sensory modalities show that object recognition is facilitated if bottom-up inputs match a template held in {WM}, and that this effect may be linked to enhanced synchronization of neurons in the gamma-band ({\textgreater}30 Hz). Natural objects, however, frequently provide inputs to multiple sensory modalities. In this {EEG} study, we examined the integration of semantically matching or non-matching visual and auditory inputs using a delayed visual-to-auditory object-matching paradigm. In the event-related potentials ({ERPs}) triggered by auditory inputs, effects of semantic matching were observed after 120-170 ms at frontal and posterior regions, indicating {WM}-specific processing across modalities, and after 250-400 ms over medial-central regions, possibly reflecting the contextual integration of sensory inputs. Additionally, total gamma-band activity ({GBA}) with medial-central topography after 120-180 ms was larger for matching compared to non-matching trials. This demonstrates that multisensory matching in {WM} is reflected by {GBA} and that dynamic coupling of neural populations in this frequency range might be a crucial mechanism for integrative multisensory processes.}, pages = {363--372}, number = {2}, journaltitle = {Experimental Brain Research}, shortjournal = {Exp Brain Res}, author = {Senkowski, Daniel and Schneider, Till R. and Tandler, Frithjof and Engel, Andreas K.}, date = {2009-09}, note = {00016 {PMID}: 19458939}, keywords = {Acoustic Stimulation, Adult, Analysis of Variance, Auditory Perception, brain, Brain mapping, electroencephalography, Evoked Potentials, Female, Humans, Male, Memory, Short-Term, Neuropsychological Tests, Photic Stimulation, Reaction Time, Time Factors, Visual Perception, Young Adult}, file = {Senkowski et al_2009_Experimental Brain Research_Gamma-band activity reflects multisensory matching in working memory.pdf:files/1296/Senkowski et al_2009_Experimental Brain Research_Gamma-band activity reflects multisensory matching in working memory.pdf:application/pdf} }
